Hey folks, sorry I haven’t done a better job keeping you abreast of my new content on superiorspidertalk.com but I’m turning over a new leaf (maybe) and trying to be better. Patience!!! Anyway, as part of my look back at the very best Peter/Mary Jane stories of all time,

While this most recent arc of Amazing Spider-Man has clearly lacked the pomp and circumstance of “Spider-Verse,” or “Goblin Nation,” Amazing Spider-Man #18 still reads as an anti-climatic finale for a series that is set to go on some semblance of a hiatus while Marvel gets its Secret Wars

I can’t remember the last time I was at a place of just sheer indifference with Amazing Spider-Man. We’re now a few issues past the conclusion of “Spider-Verse,” a storyline that elicited a rather visceral reaction from me, and a few installments away from “Renew Your Vows,” which will

Welcome back to another episode of Amazing Spider-Talk!

In the first four issues of this new volume of Amazing Spider-Man, Dan Slott has introduced a number of significant plot points involving the likes of Peter Parker and Parker Industries, J. Jonah Jameson, Electro, Black Cat and the brand new character Silk. So given Slott’s track record in

Before I start waxing poetic about Amazing Spider-Man #4, I thought it was necessary for me to mention that Marvel’s Original Sin miniseries has actually been a pretty enjoyable read, filled with some worthwhile twists and action. It’s considerably better than last year’s Age of Ultron and Infinity events,

Dan Slott notoriously paced his Superior Spider-Man series so aggressively that it makes an issue like the recently-released Amazing Spider-Man #3 feel quiet and methodical in comparison. That’s certainly a strange thing to say about a comic that opens with a huge reveal revolving a character from Spider-Man’s past,

For the relaunch of the Amazing Spider-Man franchise last month, one of the story’s many themes was how Peter had found a “new lease on life” after returning from having his mind and body occupied by Doctor Octopus. While that’s a somewhat expected plot-point for a character that has essentially been “dead” for
